Hi there 

 

Just wondering can you please tell me why my drawing border is not centralised and is there a way to modify these borders?

 

Thanks!

Hi,

 

Delete the moved border ( not centralized ) and then create it again from here :

@SaeedHamza You're using a ASME standard, the ISO is off centre like @Anonymous, shows for all sheet size. Not sure why, could be from the old days when drawings where done on tracing paper and hung in drawing cabinets from that side.

 

You can create a custom title block that includes the border using QCAD but custom title blocks don't auto populate from the design.

@HughesTooling Thanks for the explanation, it's really silly though that it's not fixed

The thing is it's not broken. Here's what I found from a Google search.

 

The size of the drawing border (or EngineeringDrawing Frame) on your technical drawings is covered in BS EN ISO 5457. The BS ISO standardsrequire a 20mm border to the left hand edge (for filing) and a 10mm border round the other three sides of the drawing sheet.
